    The reasons are many, but the main one is to ensure we provide an absolutely unique experience each and every year.

    From the company that brings you the same fucking game year over year, with paid dlc to get the same maps from old games again.

    CoD4 came out in 2007. There’s more than one series in Cod lineup. Nothing will change, there will still be a CoD per year.

    The new MW3 was literally just an expansion pack for the new MW2 sold for full price.

    Same as BO6/7. People are only willing to be milked so much. It’s why when people say what their favorite CoD is, the oldest game mentioned is Black Ops 2

    This year competition excuted well in the same launch window. Arc Raiders and Battlefield, I have played neither, people seem happy with. Looking at Steam charts, Delta Force looks popular too and CS is always popular. It’s taken like 15 years but the not Call of Duty and not sort of weird gunplay in modern times/military shooters compared to Counter Strike (I play counter strike and I know it’s gunplay and movement are weird and harsh for newcomers) are hitting their strides. Call of Duty is facing the best most suitable amount of competition since the first modern warfare

    As a huge zombies fan who has skipped every game since BO3; I kinda hope they never make a good game that I feel like I want to play ever again… Because it won’t run on Linux and I don’t want to dual boot or get a console 😅

      Go buy Vein on Steam.

      Yah it’s nothing like CoD Zombies, but it IS a zombie game, and it’s made by just two people trying to make a quality survival game and it’s obviously a work of passion worth supporting.

      I haven’t bought a big company release in years at this point. There are so, so many good indie games being made right now, this will be a nostalgia point for kids someday, back when there were was a flood of games and half were huge, bloated AAA wastes of money that nobody liked, and the other half were amazing, weird, experimental concept ideas produced in low fidelity and released for $5 - $20.

    I saw it had robots and shit and noped out of even thinking about buying it.

    I can’t keep up with what the current cod game is, they’re wannabee super hero babes games which bear zero resemblance to the original games. It’s a characature at this point.

    Edit: fixed autocorrect typo.

      Anything that pisses off milsim obsessed manchildren is a win in my eyes. You have hundreds of games at your disposal, go play them.

        Huh?

        I just think the game looks and plays bad. I’m clearly not the target demographic, but the older COD games I grew up with are a completely different tone/style/game to the modern arcade shooters.

        I said I noped out of it, not that everyone should.

          Here lies the problem: A lot of FPS players literally only want ONE fucking tone for EVERY FPS, which is like. Serious-looking milsim appearance that takes place in the present day. That’s it. They’ll literally attack any futuristic game as “it’s a mobile game” and “not realistic”, as if that should be the only thing that dictates if an FPS is good or not. I for one am tired of it, especially considering most of the people who are extremely anal about that are either chuds or fascists who want to roleplay as a super soldier fighting for the good ol’ US of A. So when people constantly talk about how “ah this thing has robots I don’t want to play it” it immediately triggers that suspicion in me.

          Not to mention, this whole obsession with “realism” to me is absolutely stupid. I don’t need to see literally every pore on an old man’s face for my game to feel good. Hell, you have games like Hades II, Silksong, MOTHER 3, and a fuckton of other games that are just extremely good that none of those people try because they’re not realistic.
